Alexander Anderson is the mysterious Krath Priest in the employ of House Ludo Kressh. His is a likable enough person, who gets along with those around him for the most part. But the close observer will see that there is something about him that is slightly emotionally distant. In general, his past is marked with tragedy, as though he grew up a privileged life; he has learned some harsh lessons in his travels through the galaxy. He is a good leader, but not really a cunning strategist or an excellent fighter. He prefers to lead through providing an example, and being ready for whatever is required of him. Still beyond these facts, his past and origins remain shrouded in mystery to all but a select few.
Xander is a Krath Priest of Clan Naga Sadow, and apprentice to Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu.
Character History
Origin
Alexander (aka Xander) is a Human male from the planet New Alderaan. He grew up in uncertain times, as close to the time of his birth his planet had been devastated in an attack by Warlord Zsinj. To further this paranoia the planet was again devastated when Xander was three years old, by the clone Emperor Palpatine.
Xander has vague recollections of the attacks, mostly he remembers a lot of people being very afraid, and there being chaos around him. His lack of memory of the event has lead some to believe that there is some deeper memories which have simply been suppressed. Only time will tell.
Xander grew up on New Alderaan the spoiled child of high government officials. Throughout his childhood his parents saw to it that he had no want, and his every need was satisfied. Consequently Xander grew up to be a conceited, self centered, arrogant, and spiteful child.
Jedi Academy
Xander's force sensitivity was initially discovered by his parents who believed this to be a gift both to their planet, and to the Galaxy at large. Shortly after the discovery of his talent he was sent to become a Jedi at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy.
However, he soon found that life at the Academy was not the same as the comfortable life that he was used to growing up on his home planet. Xander decided that he thought that he could make a better life for himself if he lived on his own, and in a fit of disobedience stowed away on a freighter leaving the planet. Little did he know, the galaxy was not the forgiving and easy place that his spoiled upbringing brought him up to be.
In The Galaxy at Large
The first lesson Xander learned was when he was discovered by a smuggler named Atkins. Thinking that he would be able to get his way around being caught hiding aboard the ship Xander tried to convince the man he was a noble, and the smuggler would be rewarded for taking him home. Little did the naive young Xander realize two things: his story seemed rather unbelievable when taking into account the tattered state of his clothes. The existence of individuals with a certain taste for young boys. It was here that Xander learned that the galaxy was not the place his cosseted existence had lead him to believe it was.
Years on Coruscant
After finishing using Xander for his purposes, the smuggler Atkins then proceeded to sell Xander to a man on Coruscant named Ragan.
Xander was then bought into the operations of an underground gang on Coruscant. Starting off as a beggar he was taught to beg for money and cut purses. When was older Xander began being taught how to be burglar and spent a lot of time breaking in and out of the residences of high officials on Corruscant. During these years Xander been addicted to spice, and would spend all of his time when not working using the spice. Soon, he discovered that certain clients were willing to pay him a pretty large sum, for certain other favors he was able to provide. Money, which could use even to get even deeper into his addictions.
To his further delight, he discovered that using certain abilities which he had previously thought not worth his while, he learned he could use his force abilities to dominate the minds of the weak willed, simply convincing them that he had performed the services that he required without ever having done them, thus leaving him more time to pursue his habit.
The Brotherhood
A Dark Jedi by the name of Impetus happened to be on the planet and heard about the slave ring that was being run by Atkins. Due to her own history with Slavers, the Krath Arch Priestess Impetus Korin Palpatine was angered by the existence of such a group of slavers so close to her vicinity decided to simply eradicate the entire group.
She decided she would get into the complex by pretending to be a customer of the escort service, then destroy the underground headquarters from within, thus eliminating needing to find a point of entry. She ended up with Xander, and went with him to his chambers, where bored at the time he decided to use his mind trick to get her to just think they carried out the transactions without ever having done it. This proved to be a mistake, however, amused by his gall Impetus knocked Xander out before proceeding to kill the slavers. She later took him up to her ship, where she told him about theDark Jedi Brotherhood.
Her first task she decided however, was to rid Xander of his spice addiction, this was a long and painful process for Xander, during which he suffered withdrawal, and many other pains of being with a Sith. This all concluded with Xander (then in the midst of withdrawal) breaking into the piloting area of the ship while Impetus was away and stealing the ship, punching it to whatever coordinates were programmed. Little did he know this would take him to the brotherhood.
Beginnings at the brotherhood
Not knowing how to pilot a ship at all Xander was drifting in space when he was discovered by Shin'ichi who extracted (painfully) from him the story of why he had the ship of a member of the order. Impressed by his daring to steal the ship of a Krath Arch Priestess, Shin'ichi took him to the brotherhood where Xander started his training in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force.
Xander so far has proven to be a minor prodigy, his instructors being pleased at all turns by his progress. Having kept an eye on Xander during his beginning at the academy Shin'ichi decided to take the young man as his apprentice.
His first task being, dealing with some unruly miners for the Dlarit Corporation.
Dlarit Escapade
This was Xander's first mission. Reports had come in that Mine 21 Alpha had been sending short shipments and holding back raw carbon to sell privately. Xander brutally slaughtered out all personnel at the mine, killed the shuttle crew who were making the deliveries, and then brutally and publicly executed the mines operating officer. It was originally planned to have it be a simple slaughter, but Xander convinced his superiors a simple execution would simply engender hate. Which they did not want, hate was not controlled by them and when people hated another they would act out against them, while fear allowed for the people to be controlled. In order to control they could either chose love, or fear. Xander quoted Palpatine who said "Love endures by a bond which men, being scoundrels, may break whenever it serves their advantage to do so; but fear is supported by the dread of pain, which is ever present".
Thus Xander executed the mission by using an engineered agent to kill all of the mine operators through the air system, which worked by getting into the respiratory system of most sentient beings then causing the immune system to believe that the organs were foreign invaders and cause the body to attack itself rejecting all of the bodies internal organs. The lungs would fill with blood, and pus which the victim would cough out, while feeling excruciating pain throughout their body.
Xander then put the commander on a recorded trial, in which he was tried for crimes against his masters, and then executed. The video in the future would be used to remind others of the consequences of their actions.
The precision, and style Xander used for the job was immense. The brotherhoods name was neatly left out, but the message was clearly sent to all of those who knew : such defiance would be met harshly and brutally. The point was, this was not an assassination, nor was Xander an Assassin, simply a facilitator of the needs of power.
Rise and Fall
During the following years Xander continued to grow as a member of the Brotherhood at a prodigious rate. Many considered him to be an up and coming talent in the Clan as he continued to move through ranks, taking up different positions, and helping both the Brotherhood and clan in the Battle for Antei. During this time, Xander has also taken up a position in the Chamber of Justice as the Left Hand of Justice, taking part in a number of key cases which would eventually help define the rules of the Brotherhood in many manners. Things indeed looked up for the young man, destiny knocked at his door.
However, shortly after the Battle for Antei, Xander left. Some believe that he received a higher calling, as he now serves aboard the Fallen Spear, or the Brotherhoods capital ship. The reasons for his sudden departure from Clan Naga Sadow remain a mystery to all but a few.

Xander's Droid - "Angel"
Xander also has an R8-series astromech droid. Angel performs a large amount of the routine piloting of the X Wing. Angel has become one of Xander's most prized possessions, he uses the droid for everything from surfing the holonet while traveling on missions, to composing reports.
Angel has been upgraded to have repulsorlifts and a vocoder, giving him the ability to speak Basic, something extremely rare among astromech droids. The ability to speak also is a reflection of Xander's sense of humor, as the droid has the ability to swear fluently in multiple languages. Xander usually turns off the vocoder, unless they are in private.
Angel has been modified to have the most advanced personality matrix available, giving him a strong personality. This combined with Angel's lexicon of curse words makes for an interesting combination.Angel is known to be sarcastic, impudent, and often times rebellious, but the truth of the matter is that Angel has become one of Xander's constant companions, dedicated to helping his master in his duties for the clan, as well as any other functions that are necessary.
Angel was given the nickname because someone once mentioned that the droid floated like an angel.
